Friday nights under the stars at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Garden

Donna, an independent hotelier in the Greek islands, is preparing for her daughter’s wedding with the help of two old friends. Meanwhile Sophie, the spirited bride, has a plan. She secretly invites three men from her mother’s past in hope of meeting her real father and having him escort her down the aisle on her big day. Academy Award-winner Meryl Streep leads a star-studded cast – including Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Julie Walters, Christine Baranski and Amanda Seyfried – in this musical celebration of true loves lost and new ones found.

The sixth annual Santa Barbara County Farm Day is Saturday, August 24 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. On Farm Day, more than 10 Santa Barbara County farms, ranches and agricultural organizations open their doors to the public. Visitors experience free behind-the-scenes farm tours, tractor with trailer rides, tastings, giveaways and kid-friendly activities. Attendees can tour farms that produce specialty crops, seasonal produce and berries, wine grapes and livestock. With the help of the online Farm Day Trail Map, the public can pick which farms to visit and then map out the day’s driving itinerary. Farms are primarily in Santa Maria, Santa Ynez Valley and surrounding areas.

For more information, visit www.SantaBarbaraCountyFarmDay.com or call 805-892-8155. No pets allowed. Also, mark your calendars for the 12th annual Ventura County Farm Day taking place on November 2.

On June 18th at 7:00 PM the Ventura County Interfaith Community will continue its exploration of the interaction between faith and finances in a variety of religious traditions. In particular, we will seek to answer the question, “How do different faiths approach the gathering and allocation of financial resources?” An interfaith panel consisting of representatives of the Bahá’í community, the United Methodist Church, and the International Society for Krishna Consciousness will discuss the ways that their communities solicit and receive funds and how they use their funds both in the support of their own programs, in response to needs of their congregants and the needs of those in the broader community. Our host for the evening will be the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (1201 Paseo Camarillo, Camarillo).

Admission to the forum is free and all are welcome, so please feel free to pass this information along to friends and family who may be interested in the topic.

Friday nights under the stars at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Garden

After a string of bizarre bank robberies in Southern California, with the crooks donning masks of various former presidents, federal agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), infiltrates the suspected gang. But this is no ordinary group of robbers. They’re surfers – led by the charismatic Bodhi (Patrick Swayze), who is addicted to the rush of thievery. When Utah falls in love with a female surfer, Tyler (Lori Petty), who is close to the gang, it complicates his sense of duty. (Kathryn Bigelow, 1991, R, 121 min.)
